Doesn't look like much laying there does it. Its 10.5 yards of bias binding I made. Anyone who has ever made this binding knows that burned fingers go with the territory or it does for me. I swear I must get myself with the steam a gazillion times while making it, for sure while making this many yards of it. I needed this for a cute something I am making ;O).. I will show it to you when its all done.

Your amazing dedication toward your projects, such as making your own bias, shows the reason your sewing is on such a higher level. The bias we get to "buy" is so ugly! I can't imaging making my own custom bias for something. I CAN'T WAIT to see what your project will be.

And, the seedlings look awesome. I feel like a bum after reading your post today!! :-/ I need to get my seeds planted, but the moving stuff is keeping me from doing my normal gardening routine. It's as if I feel like, well, we won't be living here much longer and they'll be in the way while marketing the house...pity trip big time!

Hi there.... just found your blog, became a "FOLLOWER" and am leaving a comment. I see you've already got seedlings going. I live in central-ish Texas and need to get in gear with the planting.Take care.

Hey! Boring is in the eyes of the beholder! And this is NOT one of them! I appreciate a good sewing person! and a gardener to boot! We still have a few months to start planting things but you have got me thinking about it! Thanks.

Ozark Mountains, Arkansas

Its a place where the mountains whisper, the creeks and springs sing songs to your soul. The trees blow a breeze of pure contentment. Earth, wind, fire and water. All the elements of being. Mother nature and her sprites in all their glory live there. Once you have lived in these mountains, you may leave them for a time. You may move far, far away for many years, but they will never leave you. They will softly beckon to your soul...return, return home .... We are here as we have always been and always will be. Come home ...The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, where I am from and where we will retire.

About Me

A bit off the beaten path in my thinking, okay probably not even close to the path.
I love to grow things, being outside in the dirt is a have to for me. Its as much a part of my well being as eating and drinking.
I enjoy life, no I love life. I try hard to take care of this body I have been loaned for the duration. A healthy lifestyle is important to me... exercise, organic food and being vegetarian for over 30 years fit into that.
Occupation: Interior Design and I am a Farmer. Quite the mix no? :O)
